Episode six of the Pendragon cycle, Rise of Merlin, premieres tomorrow only on Daily Wire Plus. New details are now emerging about the Rhode Island father who murdered his ex-wife and one of their sons. The big story with regard to this particular shooter, of course, he was an identified transgender person. And it turns out there are new details about this shooter.
Apparently, this person who was named Robert but called himself Roberta and is 56 years old had inked a large SS symbol on his right arm representing the Schutzstaffel paramilitary organization under Nazi Germany. This is what the picture looks like. Apparently, he was buying a happy birthday balloon with his SS gigantic tattoo on
Obviously, you recognize the skull there from also Graham Plattner's chest. That would be the Senate candidate in Maine for the Democratic Party. According to the ADL in Nazi Germany, the death's head was a symbol of one of the branches of the SS whose purpose was to guard the concentration camps.

Chapter 2: Why is the media's coverage of the trans shooter controversial?
She added the person also went by the name Roberta, but did not provide further explanation. Well, I mean, we are in the middle of a national debate right now about the rise, the shocking rise of violence done by transgender people, people who are self-identified transgender.
So it seemed a little bit relevant that this particular shooting, which was done by a person who was transgender, had had sex reassignment surgeries to no avail because looks very much like a bulky dude. and who was in the middle of a nasty divorce with his wife, who apparently correctly noted that he was narcissistic and had mental problems.
When the media ignored this kind of stuff, they are only ignoring it for one reason, and that is that the narrative is more important than the reality. And this speaks to the broader left-wing problem these days. The broader left-wing problem these days is that narrative is more important than reality. And this is true everywhere from the media to celebrity culture to the Democratic Party itself.
We begin with the big media controversy of the day. That, of course, is occurring at CBS. So CBS is experiencing all sorts of anger, internal rage. Somebody needs to prescribe some Omeprazole over there because everybody's got heartburn. Stephen Colbert is very upset because CBS, he did an interview with James Tallarico and on CBS.
And James Tallarico is the probable Senate nominee for the Democrats in Texas. According to the calci market, 75% of people in that calci market believe that Tallarico will be the nominee, not Jasmine Crockett. Tallarico has been highly touted by a wide variety of people on the political spectrum, including, of course, Joe Rogan, whose show he appeared on. And CBS spiked the interview.
And the reason that they spiked the interview is because they were afraid of the so-called equal time rule. Because the FCC says that particularly if you are in a Senate primary, for example, that if you provide time to one candidate, you also have to provide time to the other candidate equal time to the other candidate.

Chapter 3: What tribute did Dave Chappelle pay and why is it significant?
And CBS said, we don't want to provide equal time to say Jasmine Crockett or some other fringe candidate. So we're not going to air the interview. Well, Colbert then went on the air and ripped into CBS. At this point, Stephen Colbert wants to be fired. And I assume that at some point he will be fired and they will have to replace him in the job market.

He goes on the air after this interview is spiked and it was spiked, as we will explore in a moment, for a fairly decent legal reason. And he proceeds to rip into CBS. And by the way, CBS allows this to air.
You might have heard of this thing called the equal time rule, okay? It's an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television, not cable or streaming, that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidate's opponents on as well. It's the FCC's most time-honored rule right after no nipples at the Super Bowl.
There's long been an exception for this rule, an exception for news interviews and talk show interviews with politicians. Now, that's crucial. How else were voters supposed to know back in 92 that Bill Clinton sucked at saxophone? But on January 21st of this year, a letter was released by FCC chairman and smug bowling pin Brendan Carr.
In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of the FCC, so FCCU.
Okay, so, by the way, Brendan Carr is right. Stephen Colbert obviously is motivated by partisan purposes.

Chapter 5: How does the equal time rule affect CBS's broadcast decisions?
When was the last time he had a major Republican guest? Can you name it? Truly, when is he invited on a major Republican guest or and treated that person, by the way, if he did with the same sort of kid gloves with which he treats Democrats every day on the Stephen Colbert show is basically an ad for some Democrat or other. It is just MS now, but with some bad jokes.
Well, CBS responded by saying the Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Representative James Tallarico. The show has provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Representative Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.
The Late Show decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal time options. So first, Colbert and team sort of tried to retell the lie. that they would not allow, that the FCC had overtly banned CBS from airing the interview. That is not true.
Then he tried to retell the lie that CBS banned the interview with Tallarico because, what, they were afraid of Tallarico? And they were saying that if he aired it with Tallarico, then presumably he would also have to have on a Republican like a John Cornyn or a Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race. That is not what the equal time rule says. They're in the middle of a primary season.
He would have had to had on another Democrat, Representative Jasmine Crockett, And the late show itself, like the producers, decided not to promote that interview on the air because then they would have to do the same for other Democrats. For what it's worth, for what it's worth, Tallarico is basically just straight Pete Buttigieg. That is his entire shtick, down to the Pastor Pete routine.
So one of the most irritating facets of the Pete Buttigieg for president campaign, if you can remember back that far, since every day in American politics is now charted in dog years. If you remember the Pete Buttigieg presidential run, the thing that irritated me most is when he would cite the Bible to say completely non-biblical things.
where he would suddenly turn into your world's worst Sunday school teacher, explaining to you that the Bible has nothing to say about issues ranging from same-sex marriage to abortion, and that basically it's just a social justice document drafted by the Democratic National Committee. Well, now James Tallarico is doing the same exact thing.
He's out there claiming that you're a bad Christian if you believe that, for example, same-sex marriage is non-biblical. For the record, same-sex marriage is non-biblical. There are many books of the Bible that reference this. not least of which is Leviticus. But here is James Tallarico trying to do the Pastor Pete routine.
Jesus gave us two commandments, love God and love neighbor. And there was no exception to that second commandment. Love thy neighbor regardless of race or gender or sexual orientation or immigration status or religious affiliation. And it's why I have fought so hard for the separation of church and state in the state capitol in Texas.

Chapter 6: What criticisms are made about Dave Chappelle's recent actions?
Like these are longstanding religious traditions, but we have separation of church and state. And so in terms of public policy, I don't make public policy on the basis of biblical law because this is not a theocracy. That used to be the democratic stance. which I think is weak when it comes to trying to make peace with Christians, but at least is arguable.
The new democratic stance that the Bible is somehow a document that greenlights same-sex marriage and encourages abortion. And that if you truly were a Christian, you would be in favor of all these things. When Tallarico says, love thy neighbor means love thy neighbor regardless of immigration status or sexual orientation.
When the Bible says that, what it means is that you are supposed to love thy neighbor as thyself, but you are not supposed to love his sin. In fact, you are not supposed to place a stumbling block in front of the blind. Another biblical injunction, which is commonly presumed to mean that you are not supposed to allow your neighbor to go without redress if he is sinning.
You're supposed to warn him. That is a biblical injunction to warn your neighbor if he is sinning. But again, it's all about the virtue signaling for the Democrats. And so back to CBS again, what's happening at CBS right now is an attempt to basically scuttle the ownership change at CBS and also to go after Barry Weiss at CBS News. It is all a virtue signaling point.
It has nothing to do with reality. Democratic lawmakers, for their part, are suggesting they're now going to investigate CBS. Representative Darren Soto of Florida accused Brendan Carr of blocking Democratic candidates as part of his reign on unlawful censorship, vowing a reckoning is coming and including an investigation of this outrage by Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Ooh, the vaunted House Energy and Commerce Committee, an investigation. By the way, it just shows you what Democrats are going to do with Congress if they happen to win in 2026, which is shut everything down. I mean, basically, it's going to be investigations out the wazoo. Nothing will happen ever again. Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper is doing the same routine. So he is leaving 60 Minutes.
He actually was given an offer by CBS News to remain, but apparently he's turning that down. You would assume the reason he's turning that down is sort of a soft slap at Barry Weiss and her takeover of CBS News. He put out a statement called being a correspondent at 60 Minutes has been one of the highlights of my career.
I got to tell amazing stories and work with some of the best producers, editors and camera crews in the business. For nearly 20 years, I've been able to balance my jobs at CNN and CBS, but I have little kids now and I want to spend as much time with them as possible while they want to spend time with me. So I imagine that sometime in the near future, he will come out with his ringing message.
critique of Barry Weiss and the Ellisons. And it is all about the virtue signaling for the Democrats. It is not about reality. Speaking of which, Dave Chappelle has become increasingly unfunny, which is sad to say because Dave Chappelle is unbelievably talented. If you watch some of his earlier specials, he's an amazing storyteller.

Chapter 7: How does Jesse Jackson's legacy reflect on modern politics?
Cameras are following him. A lot of cameras there. There he is delivering his flowers. Now, of course, he's doing this for the cameras, Dave Chappelle. Clearly, when you're a person as famous as Dave Chappelle, you are doing this for a reason. And the goal here, of course, is to serve as a critique of the Trump administration and their immigration policy. So why is he doing that?
The answer, of course, is to signal. It is a virtue signal to his liberal audience that he is one of them. He's not the first comedian who had been sort of given a soft treatment by the right who has done this. Bill Burr, of course, has done this repeatedly. Bill Burr made the... fatal career mistake of becoming somewhat popular on the right to center right.
And then he decided he had to swivel hard left in order to show all of his friends where he really stood. Chappelle is doing some of the same stuff.
The reason I find this hypocritical and ridiculous, of course, is that when it comes to, say, immigration issues, Dave Chappelle standing up against ICE for tossing illegal immigrants, kind of a fascinating take from a dude who in 2022, quite famously, rebelled against his HOA because they were going to build some affordable housing in the general area.
He showed up at a village council meeting in Ohio to protest the construction of a residential community on a 52 acre plot just north of his house and proceeded to basically yell at everybody at the city council. So you want to see nimbyism in action? Nimbyism in action is illegal immigration, broad scale.
I should stop enforcing it, but never should you ever build affordable housing within general eyesight of my home.
Dave Chappelle attended a public hearing in the Ohio village he lives in to oppose a housing development plan. So at the meeting, Dave threatened to pull a restaurant and comedy club he plans to build in the town of Yellow Springs. If the proposal, which included affordable housing, went through, let's watch.
I cannot believe you would make me audition for you.
You look like clowns. I am not bluffing. I will take it all off the table. That's all. Thank you.

Chapter 8: What insights does the guest provide on mass delusion and media influence?
And so Spike Lee was obviously, I mean, what a schmuck, seriously. A dude from a country that you're not fond of makes an all-star game and you decide that you have to protest it? But this is who the Democrats are.
You know, Spike Lee, if he is going to spend his time critiquing other countries, maybe he should spend some time in some of the worst parts of the world so he could be a little bit more grateful for Western civilization.
But while he's traveling to those terrible parts of the world, perhaps he should protect his internet activity the way you should when you travel with, you know what I'm going to say, Express. See, here's the thing. When you go all over the world, you actually don't know who's on your network. If the Wi-Fi is secure, if the government is watching your data.
That's why I take privacy seriously and why I use our sponsor, ExpressVPN. It's fast, it's reliable, it keeps my information safe. ExpressVPN is the app I trust to protect my privacy online. Period. It reroutes your internet connection so nobody, not your Wi-Fi admin, not your service provider, not even government agencies, can spy on what it is that you are doing. Obviously, I travel a lot.
When I'm out of town, I have to use public Wi-Fi. I'm using like hotel Wi-Fi. And I don't know who's on that network, so I'm using ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data, your logins, credit cards, all of it. So hackers are completely out of luck. And here's the thing. It is the only VPN that I actually recommend because I use it. It's ranked number one by The Verge and CNET.
You can use it on up to 14 devices at once. That means your whole family is protected. Right now, you can get ExpressVPN for just $3.49 a month. That's less than 12 cents a day. And my listeners can get an additional four months of service when you use my link at expressvpn.com. That's expressvpn.com for four additional months of service with ExpressVPN.
I keep saying this on a broad level, but it happens to be true. So the New York Times just did a focus group on the Democratic Party among Democrats. And people were asked, what word would you use to describe the Democratic Party? People said sold out, afraid, paralyzed. So the focus group was 13 Democratic voters.
And according to The New York Times, participants in our group weren't unclear about what the party stands for, the greater good and the protection of civil rights. But many also expressed dissatisfaction with a lack of resolve this past year during shutdown fights, as well as more broadly, even recognizing that there isn't always much Democrats can do out of power.
People wanted more action and more aggression, especially if and when Democrats take power again. In particular, they wanted candidates who were young, progressive and from a more modest or working class background with clear and simple messages.
